The Center for Ethics and Human Values is pleased to announce that environmental philosopher and climate policy strategist Prof. Andrew Light will deliver the 2020 Distinguished Lecture in Ethics. The series welcomes to campus thinkers who have been influential outside of the academy in addition to having made groundbreaking contributions to ethics or political philosophy. Past speakers include Amartya Sen, Jan-Werner Müller, Elizabeth Anderson, and Danielle Allen.
This year's lecture is co-hosted by Ohio State's School of Environment and Natural Resources (SENR), and honors the 50th anniversary of Earth Day.
Andrew Light is University Professor of Philosophy, Public Policy, and Atmospheric Sciences, and director of the Institute for Philosophy and Public Policy at George Mason University. He is also a Distinguished Senior Fellow in the Climate Program at the World Resources Institute in Washington, D.C., and a Faculty Affiliate at the Center for International Environment and Resource Policy at Tufts University. He works primarily on international climate policy and governance (especially bilateral U.S. cooperation with India and China, comparative ambition, and mitigation of short-lived climate pollutants), normative dimensions of environmental policy, governance of emerging technologies, and risk analysis.
